I really enjoy games like this, and this one is nearly very good.. however its a bit too hard and seems like each level requires the perfect combination of turrets to complete. If it was balanced a bit better I would love this game!

Yeah, I decided to balance it on the more difficult side because there aren't many levels. I may have gone a bit too far.

Good game but it's a bit too hard. Like the kind of hard where you blame the computer because it seems like there is only one way each level.

Ahhh one of the LDTD games? heheh I actually really liked the visual style, really minimal good stuff though I suck at tower Defence I just tried to make a bunch of sniper towers X_X

Interesting idea, it really fits the theme. But it gets really hard, and it's hard to determine damage output between the different weapons so it's really hard to determine why one would be better than another. In the end it turned into more of a guessing game of trying different turrets in different spots without much strategy. The set up seems pretty much bug free other than sometimes turret selections not registering, but it kept my interesting for a while. Good job!

Apart from the last level, I find the other levels not that much hard. It is a simple and quite enjoyable game.

Wait, you actually made a #LDTD game? You're the first one I've seen... Difficult, but fun.

Really fun game! Took a while to figure out some of the levels, but the fact that you needed to develop a strategy was really cool.

definitely feels like more of a puzzle game than a traditional tower defense game.

No win screen? :'(

Otherwise, very nice tower defense, which you had time to include an area damage thingy, and maybe some more feedback when something gets hurt.

Overall, enjoyable. Congrats on making it!

Very good entry! Both fun, long and aesthetically pleasing.
I got far into the game using only quick turrets at max damage, but got stuck in the end at the 2-shaped level! (add a skip button maybe?)

That's a really interesting approach on the TD genre. Pretty difficult, too. Nice job!

Very hard, but once I got some sniper towers, I liked the game. Nice job! I featured it in my Ludum dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp9ky-3J3J4
